Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Community and the Citizen The important changes in our community life, and especially in our methods of self-government, that have occurred during the seven years since the present volume was first published, have made a revision desirable. In no particular, however, has the original point of view been departed from, nor the method of presenting the subject modified. The soundness of a point of view and of a method of elementary in struction in citizenship, which were novel seven years ago, has been abundantly confirmed by their wide acceptance and by visible results in the life of pupils and of communities. The only justification for the book, in its original or revised form, is in its point of view and method. It will be successful in the hands of the teacher in proportion as they are realized in the work of the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practice of Citizenship: In Home, School, Business, and Community Education for citizenship is one of the first duties of any self-governing society. The practice of citizen ship is fully as important a duty. Since we learn by doing, we shall never become good citizens simply by studying civic relations and problems, that is, if we do no more than prepare ourselves for future duties and responsibilities. If citizenship were chiefly a matter of voting and of governmental activities, the schools would necessarily limit themselves to preparation for adult citizenship. But citizenship is far more than that. A person is a citizen because he is a member of a nation; but the nation is only the greatest and most important of a large number of civic groups of which all of us are members. A few of these groups, such as the state and municipality, are chiefly political; some of them, such as business organizations, are predominantly eco nomic; but for boys or girls real membership is limited chiefly to two social groups, the home and the school.

Download or read book What to Do for Uncle Sam written by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What to Do for Uncle Sam: A First Book of Citizenship The United States Bureau of Education lays emphasis upon the part of the schools in training for citizenship. It urges a new teaching of the subject, beginning with the home, going on to the school, and from there into community relations. The Government asks, also, that work in civics be begun in the elementary schools. The work should embody less of the details of governmental agencies, but focus instead upon the child's own community obligations and activities. Following this thought, and taking up the pro gram of community civics outlined by the Bureau of Education, I have written What to Do for Uncle Sam, a first book in patriotism and citizen ship. At the end of each chapter I have placed questions and suggestions which establish a contact between the classroom and community life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government In introducing an educational reform there is always danger of over-emphasis; there is danger that we may not have a good thing without having too much of it. The authors of this volume, while emphasizing community civics and the moral purposes in teaching government, have sought to avoid a one-sided course. They believe that the schools should study the community and such new civics as the changing times call for, and especially that they should give attention to current history and present day problems of democracy; but it is equally important not to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre served, how the streets are kept clean (or dirty), how the taxes are raised and used, and how the schools are sustained. But to limit a high school course in civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people who are under training for citizenship.

Download or read book The Teaching of Community Civics Classic Reprint written by National Education Association Studies and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Community Civics Sir: For good citizenship men and women must not only have good will, but an abiding interest in the welfare of the community. They must also have a working knowledge of social agencies, good judgment as to methods of social activities, and a more or less comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles of social life and progress. Much can be done in childhood and in the elementary grades of the school to create interest and give a certain amount of concrete knowledge of particular social activities and agencies, but not until boys and girls have reached the years of adolescence, the high-school age, can they begin to gain any very full understanding of abstract principles of social, civic, and governmental life. Instruction in this subject in the high school is therefore of utmost importance. For use in the high schools many textbooks and manuals have been prepared on this subject, some good and some not so good, but there is still need for good manuals on the subject of community civics that will help teachers to treat the subject in an inductive way and to relate it properly to other subjects and to the past, present, and future life of the students. The manuscript transmitted herewith offers such help, and I therefore recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. It was prepared by a special committee of the National Education Association's commission on the reorganization of secondary education. This special committee consists of Prof. J. Lynn Barnard, of the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy; Clarence D. Kingsley, high-school inspector for the Massachusetts State Board of Education; F. W. Carrier, principal of the Wilmington (Mass.) High School; and Arthur William Dunn, special agent in civic education for this bureau. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I But it is not alone in the narrow field of politics - that is in the election of officials and representatives - that the' need of equipped citizens is imperative. We are be ginning to realize today that there are eco nomic, social, and intellectual implications of citizenship as well. As a matter of government is so intimately connected and concerned with the business of a country, with the social problems of the people, that no one really can understand politics who has not also a background of knowledge concern ing at least the fundamentals of the economic and social life of the time, especially in his own country and particular community.

We are coming to see as never before the unity of all human relations. The business of government is not an isolated thing, nor is it a fixed and finished scheme. It is constantly changing and growing, like a live thing. It has a beginning in the family and home; it touches every neighborly relation; it is con cerned with the uses, the getting, spending, saving, and holding of money, and the rightful distribution of property.

Download or read book American Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Charles A. Beard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Citizenship In view of the large number of textbooks on civics already available, some very decided reasons should be forthcoming from those who venture to add another one to the long list. Our first plea in justification of this volume is our belief that the books on government now offered to the schools have certain fundamental defects. An examination of the extensive collection of texts in the Library of Congress, which embraces all of the most recent books on civics, shows that they fall into two groups: those which are formal and legal, and those which are "sociological," in character. The authors of the first group err, in our opinion, in treating government as a multitude of rules already well settled which, when committed to memory, are calculated to make good and wise citizens. The authors of the second group, it seems to us, in their revolt against the mechanistic theory of government, err just as much in minimizing those concrete political and administrative processes by which social work of a public character is accomplished and in emphasizing in civics private activities which are remote from official operations. For example, the principle of the separation of governmental powers, so scorned by the sociological school, is in fact more important, as we try to show, than half of the beneficent enterprises undertaken in the name of modern collectivism. And both groups of books are equally in error in so far as they seem to regard civic life as static or settled rather than dynamic and progressive.
